Hey GPODers! Today we’re back in the flower-filled garden of Heidi Weirether. We first saw her garden a little earlier on in the summer (you check check out that post here: Heidi’s Colorful Garden in Fairfield County) and it’s incredible to see how much has changed in a month’s time! As with much of the northeast this year, Heidi is experiencing incredible hydrangea blooms—but that is just the tip of the floral iceberg in her sensational garden:
A Memorial Garden in New Jersey

Hi GPODers! While most gardens could certainly be described as “special” this space gives that adjective even more meaning. Today we’re looking at the memorial garden that John Svinos created for his late father in New Jersey:
My garden has been a memorial for my late dad. He was an avid gardener as was his brother and dad before him. They came from the small island Kos in Greece, where they were the in charge of the gardens.
Many of my plants were my dads and came from the island. Including speciality jasmine, fig and lemon trees, also hydrangeas and hostas previously from his garden and brought to mine.
A pool patio is the perfect spot for a summer container garden. As the climate in Greece is just a bit different than New Jersey, I’m sure John takes special care to shuffle these prized plants indoors when winter blows through the Mid-Atlantic.
I absolutely love the John included so much fun garden art with the plants in his father’s memorial garden. Rather than create a space that is somber and sad, he created something filled with life and joy. With the wind chimes singing with each gust of breeze, this looks like the perfect spot to immerse yourself in good memories.
This bright pink bigleaf hydrangea is loving its spot by the pool. While many gardeners are eager to get their hydrangea in the ground as soon as possible, my varieties will be happy in a container for several years.
Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora, Zones 6–10) is the clear star of this area, being perfectly framed by a garden arch that looks to be wrapped in string lights. Would love to see this space illuminated at night!
John’s fruit trees mixing and mingling with potted annuals by the pool is giving his New Jersey garden a tropical vibe.

Matthew Reese's perfect planting scheme for an English flower border | House & Garden
Some planting combinations are designed to be stable and static, with reliable perennials that work well together and stay largely in proportion for years. Other schemes are more dynamic, changing dramatically year by year as plants self-seed and move around, perhaps making use of annuals and biennials to add interest.
